WEWAHITCHKA — Authorities are reaching out to the public for help snaring a couple burglary suspects who allegedly stole a handgun from a home in broad daylight, according to a Gulf County Sheriff’s Office news release.
GCSO identified Lesley Jean Brasher, 36, as one of the suspects involved in a daytime burglary in the Stone Mill Creek Area. Law enforcement issued a warrant for Brasher for burglary of a structure while armed, but Sheriff Mike Harrison released a request for public assistance Thursday in locating Brasher.
GCSO investigators responded to the report of a residential burglary Jan. 20 in the 300 block of E. Creekview Drive north of Wewahitchka. GCSO officials said Brasher and another person were captured on a home security system. They then allegedly armed themselves during the break-in by stealing a handgun from the home, GCSO reported.
Brasher is a white female with blonde hair, about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds.
